BACKGROUND: Endothelial cells (ECs) line the blood vessel lumen and respond to fluid
shear stress. ECs are also responsible for initiating the formation of new blood vessels …

Intussusceptive angiogenesis is a dynamic intravascular process capable of dramatically
modifying the structure of the microcirculation. The distinctive structural feature of …

There are two types of angiogenesis, sprouting angiogenesis and intussusceptive
angiogenesis. Sprouting angiogenesis, the outgrowth of a new branch from an existing …

During most instances of angiogenesis, not only are the capillaries or terminal vessels
generated and modified, but the supplying vascular system is subjected to remodeling as …

Intussusceptive angiogenesis is a process that forms new blood vessels by the intraluminal
division of a single blood vessel into two lumens. Referred to as nonsprouting or …

One of the hallmarks of intussusceptive angiogenesis is the development of intraluminal
connective tissue pillars. The exact mechanism of pillar formation has not yet been …

Background/Aims: Intussusceptive angiogenesis (IA) is a dynamic process which contributes
to vascular expansion and remodeling. Intraluminal pillars have long been the distinctive …

Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels from existing ones, occurs in two different
ways, outwards by sprouting angiogenesis and inwards by intussuceptive angiogenesis …

This review shall familiarize the reader with the various aspects of intussusceptive
angiogenesis (IA). The basic event in IA is the formation of transvascular tissue pillars …

Intussusceptive pillars, regarded as a hallmark of intussusceptive angiogenesis, have been
described in developing vasculature of many organs and organisms. The aim of this study …
